Last week I wrote about "Bad Body Image" and I got tons of feedback. Apparently big or little, there is a lot of confusion when we look in the mirror. I got to wondering, do we avoid the image we see? Sure, I look in the mirror everyday, sometimes MANY times in a day, but do I really see my whole self?
When I look at the full image of myself, I usually am checking the outfit I have chosen. I am looking for lumps, bumps, length and general "coolness" (don't want to have an out of style, style). When I look in my face mirror, I am checking for imperfections and perhaps preforming a little surgery. The bathroom mirror? I am looking to make sure that I don't have a toothpaste smear, or fixing the hair, or even checking my teeth for lipstick. So do I ever really look at myself?
This week, I think I am going to plan to look into the mirror at me. Not my face, my hair, my clothes, but me. The whole package. I want to really see what I look like. I will report back next week.
